The Supreme Court allowed the Punjab State Electricity Board's appeal, reversing the High Court's decision that quashed the demand notice for Rs 2,17,000/-. The Court held that the Board's 1995 Circular, read together with the 1996 clarificatory Circular, validly required consumers whose applications predated April 1, 1995 but whose connections hadn't been released before May 4, 1995 to pay one-time contract demand charges, making the demand legally sound. The Board was permitted to recover the amount from respondent Harvinder Singh. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
